Space Saving With Lockers

Lockers are cool , I loved my locker at school well the only time I didn't like it was when I forgot my locker key one day , and I was given 100 lines . Of course I did the lines on a typewriters! .When I see school lockers it takes me back to the American High s Lockers (from those 80's movies ) which bring an industrial look to any room and that's what we are trying to achieve with my sons room.

And creating extra storage within a locker is an utter art which the American high school students have got down to an art!

I did some space saving ideas for my son with his locker one of which was to cover this cardboard book from Hobbycraft in film poster wrapping paper in a decoupage fashion. The theme I was going for the locker was Sherlock Holmes / olde wolde England.

A cardboard book provides storage for fiddly stationery items.

Essential storage for a student.

I also used magnetic photo holders to display old postcards , these could also be used to display essential study ideas when my teen is revising !!

The blue magnetic man can hold keys and other essential items like paper clips etc.

I love the theme you chose!! We still had desks when I was at school - but my kids have lockers once they are at middle school - not sure they are allowed to do much in the way of personalising them tho.

Gosh you've been keeping yourself busy haven't you! Love all these space saving things you've created, the letter and the locker rack especially look fab. We need to do some serious decluttering and space saving at home! Where to start though...!
